LA Games

So cool we have time to play games ...

Endeavor, anyone?

Third this week on BGG's "the Hotness" is Z-Man Games' Endeavor. Relive the 18th and 19th centuries of exploration and empire building across the seas, as you explore, ship and conquer around the world.

Learn why slavery can seem quite useful economically, yet still make you lose the game ...

What are your thoughts? Is this game going to be a classic? And has anyone played "Space Hulk" (currently #1 on the hotness) or "Chaos in the Old World (#2)? What are your thoughts on these games?

Does anybody own a copy of this game? It's been a long time since I've played it and would love to get a game in.

I don't think we could get 5 or 6 on such short notice for tomorrow. So maybe we should just shoot for Sunday. Also I have plans for Saturday Evening anyway. So it would be hard for me to do it tomorrow anyway. :)

Also I am free tomorrow and could host if we want to try and get a group together.

Sounds good. We really only need 5. I think it plays equally well with 5 and 6.

Joe, I should be there on Sunday, although I might be bringing along a friend. But I might be able to convince him to play too. Let's see about making this happen on Sunday then if its at least you, me and Paris. Then maybe we can round up three ...
